Concealed Profits System Disclosed During Inquiry
Samuel Untermyer led the financial phase of the Lockwood Committee inquiry into housing costs. Alfred Best testified that about 45 percent of fire insurance premiums go to foreign firms, mainly British, totaling near 400 million dollars annually. The session exposed unrevealed profits and asset manipulation to keep premiums high, with substantial losses to New York residents and potential savings if mutual and stock firms operated equally. Best, a noted insurance statistician, estimated national fire premiums around 260 to 300 billion? The testimony covered major firms, foreign control, and the method of reserving funds.
